Description
Sant'Andrea della Valle (Saint Andrew in the Valley) is a minor basilica in Rome, Italy. At the intersection of some busy streets, I passed it many times going from here to there until one day I decided to stop in. Try to read about the history of this 16th-17th century church (work was started in 1590 and the interior competed in 1650) and you get entangled in the intrigue, politics, and money influences of the day. Originally a mansion, it was bequeathed to a religious order called the Theatines, an order dedicated to combat the teachings of Martin Luther. For the modern-day visitor, a fun fact is that the first act of Puccini’s opera Tosca was set in this one of the chapels of this church. The dome is the highest in Rome after St Peter’s, with a 17th century fresco.
